The suggestion that AMD was caused by a failure of complement regulation in the eye has catalysed a rush to develop drugs that inhibit complement to treat…
Photosensitizers are molecules that absorb sunlight and pass that energy along to generate electricity or drive chemical reactions.
The study, published in the journal Cell Reports, describes the way in which human stem cells evolve into germ cells, the precursors for egg and sperm cells.
